6 Month To-Be Jean Skirt Tutu

Going to do a short series of "To-Be Denim Tutus", since I've had a few custom requests. So here's the first.

Currently, this is my only pair of 6 month and it has a stretchy waistband in the back. It's a dark, dark denim and what you can't see in this picture is that it has gold glittery sparkles all over it. The gold seems to be woven into the fabric and doesn't rub off when touch - double plus!

I should have taken a picture of the backs... This pair has cute little pockets in the back with gold stitching across the pockets. The gold embroidery is loops that loop into hearts in the center.
It would look good with just about any color, but I'm thinking red or black...maybe something a little festive.

Quick & Courageous Dragonflies

I've been making so many flower hair clips (just did a pastel yellow peonie, sunflower & yellow/orange mum today) that I've been missing the dragonflies. I took a few out last week, took some new pictures, and made them into hair clips.

Decided to look up some information about dragonflies. Did you know that they can't walk well, but are one of the fastest insects in the world (with average max speeds of 22-34mph)? In Native American tribes they represent swiftness and pure water. Probably because of their speed and because they're usually found around water - where they lay their eggs. In Japan they're associated with late summer and early fall. They symbolize strength, courage and happiness.

Baby Girl's 1 Year Pics!

We got our pictures from Greg McBoat Photography and they turned out pretty darn cute! Here are a couple of my favorites - though it's hard to choose.

Tutu Frosting

After a week of company & installing a new deck, I finally pulled out my sewing machine to make some upgrades to Baby Girl's birthday tutu. Actually I'm making her a whole new one with upgrades: ribbon encased elastic, making it so that it can be slipped on without tying & untying the ribbon, and.... a white glittered tulle. My table looks like fairies flew over with heavy bags of fairy dust. It reminds me of the line from "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days": "Women of New York! Frost yourselves!" Ah yes. Glittering, sparkling diamonds. My kids love bling.

Depending on how you fluff it, you can make the different colors more dominant.
